Medical devices are instruments, equipment, appliances, materials and other items used for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and rehabilitation, etc., which have a clear medical purpose and function.

2. Functions and Uses:
Medical devices have clear medical functions, such as diagnosing conditions, treating diseases, monitoring vital signs, etc., and they are usually used in healthcare organizations to diagnose, treat and monitor patients.
Medical furniture, on the other hand, is mainly used to provide a comfortable living environment and convenient medical operation conditions, such as beds to facilitate patients to rest and receive treatment, cabinets for storing medical supplies.
3. Regulation:
Medical devices are strictly regulated by the State Food and Drug Administration, and companies need to comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards when producing, operating and selling medical devices.
Medical furniture is relatively loosely regulated, and its production, operation and sales do not need to follow the relevant regulations and standards for medical devices.
4. Quality and safety:
Since medical devices are directly related to the health and safety of patients, their quality and safety requirements are high, and manufacturers need to have the appropriate qualifications and production capacity.
The quality and safety requirements of medical furniture are relatively low, and its main purpose is to provide a comfortable environment and convenient medical operation conditions.
